How do I enable Two Factor Authentication on my BigMIND account?

Two Factor Authentication is an optional but highly recommended security feature. Once enabled, BigMIND will require a six-digit security code in addition to your password every time you try to log in to your BigMIND account using a web browser.

To enable the Two Factor Authentication for your BigMIND account, here is what you need to do:

Click on your user name at the upper right corner of the screen → Select the Account Settings option.

From the Account Settings page, there will be a TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION part. Check the box to Enable Two Factor authentication. A barcode will be shown to you.

Now, you need to install an app to scan the barcode of your BigMIND account. Several mobile apps are available that will generate a unique time-sensitive security code you can use to finish signing in to your BigMIND account. Any app that supports the Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) protocol should work, including the following:

Open the app you installed in step #5 above, and use it to scan the barcode BigMIND has generated for your account. The used app will generate a six-digit security code.

Write your six-digit security code in the Code field under the TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION of your BigMIND account → Click the UPDATE button.

Now, you have enabled the Two Factor Authentication feature for your BigMIND account. Each time you (or anyone else) try to log in to this BigMIND account, a six-digit security code will be requested. You will need to refer to the app which generates this six-digit security code, and get the new code from it.
